So, you'll exclude the highest-educated because they spoil the curve
that you want.

That holds true in *every* election. So, even when the Democrat wins a
majority of a given educational attainment demographic, his share
relative to the share he got of a lower education level goes down.


Or, put another way, voters who finish at least Grade School are likely
Democrats, while those who don't even make it onto the chart are
Republicans.

It is beyond dispute: as level of educational attainment goes up, the
likelihood of voting Democrat decreases.


Until you hit that Grad School level, which you'll necessarily overlook
because it spoils everything. And you'll overlook the sub-Grade School
level too, where more Republicans sit. Sure, just cut off the top of the
curve (Democrat) and the bottom (Republican) as you wish.


So then only the dumbies dont vote as KKK members?

Seems as though the KKK has been an official arm of the Democratic
Party for 150 yrs. And the Kluxers are still voting for Democrats.

Sorry..something is quite wrong with your math.

Kluxers are never that smart.
